Are you entitled to a deduction for interest on a loan, taken out to purchase a vacant block of land held for future income producing purposes?
论坛讨论比较多关于买地造投资房的主题
Taxpayer is about to purchase a vacant block of land.
They will borrow an amount to fund the purchase.
Construction of a house will begin on the land as soon as council approval is received.
As soon as the property is completed the property will be available for rent.
It has always been your intention to have the land and house as a rental property for income producing purposes.
A deduction is allowable for expenses incurred in gaining or producing assessable income, provided those expenses are not capital, private or domestic in nature.
In Steele’s Case, the High Court considered the deductibility of interest expense incurred on borrowings to purchase land intended to be developed for income production. Taxation Ruling TR 2000/17, in considering the above decision, concludes that interest incurred in a period prior to the derivation of relevant assessable income will be incurred in gaining or producing the assessable income in the following circumstances:
· the interest is not incurred “too soon”, is not preliminary to the income earning activities and is not a prelude to those activities;
· the interest is not private or domestic;
· the period of interest outgoings prior to the derivation of relevant assessable income is not so long, taking into account the kind of income earning activities involved, that the necessary connection between outgoings and assessable income is lost;
· the interest is incurred with one end in view, the gaining or producing of assessable income;
· continuing efforts are undertaken in pursuit of that end.
In this case, the interest expenses on borrowed funds used to acquire land that will be solely used in income producing operations. As your intention throughout is to build an income producing building and there is no private or domestic purpose for holding the property. And the length of time between purchase of the property and commencement of construction is not considered to have been so long that the necessary connection between outgoings and the assessable income is not lost. You would be entitled to a deduction for the interest expense under section 8-1 of the tax act. |
